What a Difference A Day Can Make



You know one of those days where you start out thinking that it will be a normal day and then it turns out to be one of the strangest days?! Yep, that was my day today. Of course, I haven't had a normal day since I was laid off in November of 2008. However, I was beginning to get used to my different lifestyle and so enjoying my Sewing Room days. I really never thought I would be able to spend so much time sewing. At least not until I retired.
Anyway, back to my day -- I had some wonderful news this morning and then some terrible news this evening. What a day...
First the good news!! Today, I was accepted as a sewing teacher at the local brand new Joanns Fabrics. I have already scheduled classes for May and June! I am really looking forward to sharing my passion with my students. Recently, someone told me that I was in a good business as no one sews anymore and that young kids are not interested in learning to sew. I can't believe it or I refuse to believe it. Anyway, I am going to try and do my part in igniting the love of the craft in my students.
The bad news, at least from my point of view, my son-in-law was offered a job in Tupelo, Mississippi!! I cannot believe that they are even considering going. Well, for now, it is only a consideration. My hopes are that God presents another opportunity. We shall see... as for me tonight, I will sleep uneasily.

  1. Great news! We all could use a job we enjoy. Your students will enjoy saving with Joann Fabrics coupons.
